IMPROVEMENT lN TRACE-BUCKLES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letter-l Patent and making part of thesaine.

' in Adjustable Trace-Loops; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad tothe accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereonwhich form apart of this specification.

The. nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof an adjustable trace-loop for short-tug harness, as will behereinafter more fully set forth.

In order, to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in whichFigure 1 is a view of the loop, with the trace and back-band inserted;and

Figure 2, a perspective of the loop itself.

This loop is made of cast-iron, and composed of a rectangular frame, A,with a loop, B, in the center of the rear side, and a cross-bar, O,crossing the frame in the center.

On the outer side of the frame A are formed two loops, D D, connected bya cross-bar, E, which runs parallel with the cross-bar O.

G is the'hame-tug, which is passed through the loops D D, as shown, andthe back-band H is then passed under one of the ends of the frame A,over the cross-bar O, and then through or under the other end of theframe.

A headed screw is then passed through holes in the back-band, cross-barO, washer a, and the hametug, and screwed into the cross-bar E. By thismeans the hame-tug on a short straight-tug harness may be readilylengthened and shortened at will.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The within-described trace-loop, consisting of the frame A, loops B D D,and cross-bars OE, construct ed and arranged as described, and used inconnection with the screw I and washer a, substantially as and for thepurposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as'my own I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
